Christmas Comes Early For The MAKE 3DP Team
For the past two years our Make: Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing has used “Christmas Morning” print tests to gauge how well a desktop machine prints right out of the box.
As our “How We Tested” article states:
In order to make sure that the printers were in working order when they arrived at the MAKE offices, the MAKE interns and I performed the “Christmas morning” tests prior to the shootout weekend. We unboxed all the machines and printed a small MAKE robot and ensured that the printer was operational prior to the arrival of the main group of testers. This enabled us to contact customer support early if a machine was having serious difficulty and gave us the lay of the land before we began serious comparison testing.
Are You Getting a 3D Printer This Christmas?
We invite all new printer users to send us their first-print photos of our 2014 Ultimate Guide test prints (both successful and unsuccessful) and descriptions of their personal Christmas morning experiences. When taking pictures of test prints, include a nickel for scale and let us know what printer you used, so we can compare your print experiences with our testing. However, your prints don’t need to be limited to the test prints — any print will do!
Looking for Something to Print?
Check out “Eric and Anna’s Fantastical 3D Printer HOA of Holiday Goodness” for some great holiday themed items to print. Also take a look at “Print Your Own D*mn Presents: Minifig Madness!” for more awesome prints to give as gifts.
Show Us Your Christmas Morning 3D Prints!
Post your makes to our model pages on Thingiverse and / or send descriptions and images of your printer dialing-in experiences to anna at makermedia dot com and use the email subject “Christmas morning prints” by January 2nd, 2014. I will post the most interesting submissions with the best first print Christmas stories.
We can’t wait to hear from you!

If you want to print some Minecraft fun go to

I have been making Minecraft items scale to the Minecraft toys sold in stores.
All free to download!
Plus I have two robots I am working on.
I will be updating my robots as soon as possible.
Thanks for showing the krampus model.
I actually modeled that on a request from thingiverse user

I personally am a big fan of painting 3D prints and also
using 3d prints as intermediary forms
(models for rubber molds to make wax for casting for example).
Seeing 3d printing as the end unto itself is very limiting, seeing it as
a part of a process opens much more possibilities.
Please do look at my (and the work of other artists) on thingiverse.
Thousands for artists sharing freely! (How cool is that?)

Why did we work on a 3D printer !
Well as you all know the world needs more 3D printers, more platforms for creation. More freedom, more possible ways the freedom to design and fabricate exactly what you need .when you need it without any barriers in short 3D printers are awesome, you can never have enough 3D printers.
